Girls’ boarding schools aren’t automatically “possessive” — it really depends on the school culture. For example, schools like The Doon School (though it’s a boys’ school) are often cited because they focus more on trust, responsibility, and independence rather than constant control. Good boarding schools—girls’ or boys’—aim for that same balance. If a girls’ boarding school feels overly strict or controlling, that’s more about how the school is run, not the idea of girls’ boarding schools in general. The good ones encourage confidence, safety, and freedom within clear boundaries.
